Reds back Northern Power Women

Liverpool FC's director of communications is set to be a judge in the north west's most vibrant celebration of women's achievements.

Susan Black, who was recognised on the Northern Power Women Power List earlier this year, will join a panel of expert judges to award the very best at the ​fifth Northern Power Women Awards in March 2020.

The awards have 10 categories, along with the Power List and Future List, which showcase role models and celebrate the many different ways women contribute to a thriving Northern Powerhouse.

"Gender diversity is extremely important to the club so it's a huge honour to be asked to be a judge," said Black. "I'm very much looking forward to learning more about the incredible achievements of the entrants."

Today marks the UN's International Day of the Girl, which aims to highlight and address the needs and challenges that girls face, while promoting girls' empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.
